How hiring through Outsource Balkan saves you money

When you hire a U.S. employee, the salary is only part of the cost. Employers are also responsible for payroll taxes, unemployment insurance, workers’ compensation, and ongoing HR and compliance obligations.

With Outsource Balkan, you are not hiring an employee - you are working with a U.S.-based service provider.

You pay Outsource Balkan LLC a single, flat monthly fee. We handle sourcing, vetting, and paying the remote professional abroad. Because the worker is not your employee, you do not pay employer payroll taxes, benefits, or additional employment-related costs.

What this means for you:

  • No Social Security or Medicare employer contributions

  • No federal or state unemployment taxes

  • No workers’ compensation insurance

  • No HR or payroll administration

Starting at $1,900/month per worker

Your monthly fee includes the worker’s compensation, recruiting, vetting, payment handling, and basic support.

For companies that need more structure, our Managed plan starts at $2,500/month.

Outsource Balkan is built for you

  • A small or mid-sized US business that needs reliable help, but can’t justify another full US salary.

  • A founder, agency owner or professional services firm looking for support with operations, admin or client work.

  • A company that values long-term relationships over quick, anonymous gig work.

How our process works

  • We start with a short call where we learn about your business, the role you want to fill, needed skills, working hours, and anything else of importance.

  • We’ll search our Balkan talent network, review resumes, screen candidates, and collect 30-second intro videos so you can quickly get a feel for each person.

  • We send you a short list of 4–5 candidates that match your needs. You review their resume and video, and if you like a candidate, we begin the onboarding process.

  • Once you choose your candidate, we prepare the agreements, clarify expectations, and help structure communication so they can start strong.

  • Outsource Balkan LLC acts as your U.S.-based service provider. We handle payouts to the worker abroad. One clean invoice from us - no international payroll headaches for you.

  • With us, there is no hassle. You focus on your business. We focus on finding and supporting the right person for your company.

Need extra operational support?

While our primary focus is placing and managing remote professionals for U.S. teams, some clients prefer to centralize additional operational tasks under one trusted partner.

When needed, we can support areas such as:

  • Website updates and maintenance
    Ongoing edits, content updates, and basic improvements to keep your site current and aligned with your business.

  • Social media account support
    Coordination of posting, basic content management, and maintaining a consistent presence across platforms.

  • Content coordination and scheduling
    Helping ensure updates and content are planned and executed consistently, without adding internal overhead.

These services are optional and provided as an extension of our contractor management model. We help place and oversee the right person for the task, while you retain full control over direction and priorities.

  • No. Our core service is ongoing contractor management. Any website or social media support is handled through managed contractors under your direction, not as a separate agency service.

  • No. They are completely optional and only used by clients who find it helpful to consolidate operational tasks with one partner.

  • You do. We assist with placement, coordination, and oversight, while all strategy, approvals, and priorities remain with you.

  • Pricing depends on scope and is discussed individually. In most cases, support is provided through the same monthly contractor management framework.
